UFC 144: Japan

[Vandelay]

Edgar landed way more than one takedown. He may not have done anything, but he still landed them. Bendo couldnt take Edgar down at all, for the most part. I actually think Edgar catching Bendo's leg kicks was beneficial for Bendo because he still landed the kicks and it prevented Edgar from moving around as much. So as he caught the kicks, Bendo was able to still hit him because he was longer than Edgar.

BTW, speaking of strikes and scoring rounds, if Okami had survived the final round I think we would have seen a very controversial decision.

I'm almost certain Boetsch had round 1 on the judges scorecards:

Maybe it was unclear from my post: FM had the takedowns 5-1 in Edgar's favor. (instead of 7-2)

...............come on

Still waiting to hear Luke's alternative.

[SPX]

Here we go.................the rules only apply when you want them to.I understand, hypocrite .

Well the judges just gave you points for Effective Point Avoidance. Because I made some good ones.

[Vandelay]

My bad Svino, and there is no conceivable way Boetsch won that first rd. I dont care what the stats say.

[Svino]

BTW, I'm completely blown away by Bendo's current run. Given his other skills, if he can best Frankie Edgar in an outside point-striking match, I don't see how to beat the guy.

Run off the cage and flying jumpkick him in the face.

I'm just saying, in every other case last night where FM said one thing and viewers were saying another (Cariaso / Shields), the judges were tracking FightMetric results.

[Vandelay]

A wrestler maybe? someone like Chandler would be a tough matchup i believe. Also Melendez would beat him.

Its okay. Not beating any top 10 fighters and losing to Guida earns you a title shot but dominating Nate Diaz,Mike Pyle ,and the current champ for 2.5 rounds doesnt.......I get it . I really do.































































BOL!!!!!!!

BJ Penn would

[zY|]

Yeah we should give BJ Penn a title fight. Totally deserving.

[Vandelay]

BJ Penn would

It'd be a good fight. I believe Bendo's pace would be too much tho. and bj would be at least 2 fights away.
